SaIVatiOnists Locked Out.

The salvation army seems to be in
rather hard lines. 1t seems that the
lease by which the army held the Cen
trail market contained condition max
ing the lease void unless the rent was
paid in advance. The limit was pass
ed Saturday and Samuel Moore, the
present owner of the building, locked
the doors and no meetings have been
held since Friday evening. 1t is said
that the failure to pay was not due to
lack of funds but to a misunderstood
ing as to the conditions of the lease.
The attendance on the meetings of the
army lately has been very small and
it's work is practically at an end here.
The officers of the army have made
some effort to secure quarters suitable
for their work but thus far without sue
cess.

A Bank Rumor.
The rumor is current and published
in the Free Fress and other papers that
the representatives of the Vermont
case who held meeting here two
weeks ago, made a proposition to Re-
ceiver Hendee for the settlement of all
claims, and that the offer of the banks
is to pay the assessment on condition
that the receiver discount the accrued
interest and pay the expenses of the
supreme court proceedings. The re-
ceiver probably submitted the PROPOSE
ton to the comptroller of the currency
and decision will therefore not be
rendered for few days.

Progress of Temperance.


In stray copy of the the Farmers
Herald, dated July !, 1929, is found
the following curious local item, about
the only local item in the paper, by the
way, and of interest as being printed
in the first newspaper published in
st. Johnsbury:
ANOTHER TEMPERANCE RAISING.
We are happy to learn that the prac-
tice of erecting buildings without ar
dent spirits is becoming more and
more common. A gentleman belong
ing to Lyndon informs MS that on the
2:3d inst, frame of a school house
was put up in his district, under the
superiutendence of Mr.. VIM. McGaffey
without any of the drink of drunkards
being used.
This sounds rather odd A. ID. 1887,
and furnishes a very good idea of the
progress of the cause of temperance
during the past half century.

Hungry aud We Gave Me Meat.

AS will be seen by the subscription
list printed in another column, over
$50 has been handed in to this office
during the past week to be forwarded
to Rev. G. F. Montgomery, Adana,
Turkey, for the starving in his dis
trict. Could Mr.. and Mrs. MOntgom-
cry have been in this office and heard
the words of sympathy that have ac-
cOmpanied these gifts and noted the
cheerfulness with which the money
was given, they would feel gratified to
say the least. AS will be seen the
sums vary from 10 cents to $40. Said
one who gave dime, 81 am told that
10 cents will feed person for "a day in
the famine district, and l am glad to
do so much.' The widow gives her
mite. One girl whose money comes
by hard work contributes of her wages.
Others gave more or less but all gave
cheerfully and expressed regrets that
they could not give more. Subscrip-
tiOns will be received another week
and will be acknowledged and for
warded to Mr.. Montgomery. Word
comes from Turkey that instead of
abating the famine is growing worse
and is likely to continue for some
months to come

Her Works Do Follow Her.

Her works do FOLLOW Her.
A good woman passed on to the 9TH
or life few weeks since after years on
years of invalidism and shut-in life
here. Although the last years of Mrs.
E. c. Redington's life were spent in
Bradford her former and active life
was in st. Johnsbury and among this
people. For this reason, and for the
great love and respect this community
bore her, the readers of the CaledOnian
will be interested to know that her
last years were spent in devising good
things. Among her requests were
800 to the Mcintosh school of the A.
M. A. in Georgia; $50 to the Woman's
board of missions of this state; 500
to Miss Calista B. Downing, a dear
friend and tOwnswOman, but for many
years a missionary in China. Although
not a wealthy person it is understood
that Mrs. Redington gave away by
will to worthy objects and worthy peo-
pie over $4,000.

A Cure for Insomnia.

II you are troubled with insomnia
these sultry nights just turn the faucet
Of cold water in your bath room for a
minute or two upon your feet and then
thoroughly dry them Haul taut your
musquito bar, let your head lie low, and,
like the pious country blacksmith in his
pew at church, close your eyes and think
of nothing. The cold water drives the
blood to the head and produces a sopor-
ific effect One of the big Portuguese
onions sliced and neatly seasoned and
eaten with thin bread, in the form of
sandwiches, would be good. An orlin-
ary United States onion will do If the
great big fellows are out of the market.
Onions are full of opium. Let business
and all mental labor go out of your head.
Keep the thoughts of maturing notes, in
terest upon mortgages, the good looking
chap that was attentive to your best girl,
and all such enemies to repose on the
outside of your musquito netting. New

An injurious Shampoo sIixture.

Speaking of authorizations, said a
medical friend to me, zone of the most
outrageous have lately discovered is the
use many BARRIERS are making of washing
soda for shampoo mixture. 1t comes
cheaper than ammonia-to the barber.
To his customer it is great deal dearer.
1t has an injurious effect ON the hair and
scalp, and it does not clean the head.
The refreshing sensation that comes from
the evaporation of ammonia is absent,
and altogether it is swindle of the first
order. began to notice some time ago
that at certain barber shops where was
in the habit of being titivated up there
was no smell of ammonia about the
shampoo. Then noticed that my head,
in spite of shampooing, remained dan
druffy and that it lathered up when I
put water on it. This led me to investi-
gate. I have got barber now who uses
proper shampooing materials, but tried
dozen before found him. Consider
ing the charge of shampoo, the barber
who is not willing to give his customers
an honest one don't deserve to have any
customers. Alfred Tr,Imhle In New

The open sesame.

was a spectator of an incident which
illustrated the association of ideas, and
perhaps some other things. 1 came upon
a group whose attitude expressed panied
and puzzled interest. The center figures
were two very young children holding
each other by the hand, one sobbing, the
other keeping back the tears. About them
were kindly intentioned women plying
the little things with questions and re-
ceiving answers altogether unsatisfactory
when not unintelligible. The children
had wandered from home, and either
from confusion or because they could not
speak plainly it was impossible to learn
from them where they lived. The mothers
in the group tried baby talk with no sue
cess. and was about to venture an ex-
pertinent of my own when up stepped a
school girl of 10 years with s.Le1nme
try" Bending over the bigger of the
little ones, she asked: ''Wherc do you
buy your candy?" Intelligence and speech
awoke together in the scared little brain
that had been proof to cajolery and
anxiety, and quick the answer came:
cat Smithsee.' The link connecting the
r1naways with home had been found,
and the discoverer marched off leading
them in triumph. Post.
